Chapter 43: Aqua Park

“Elias Deathwill… You talented monster,” Alex uttered in bewilderment.

Even though his swordsmanship severely lacked many points, Alex could tell that the skill created by Elias Deathwill was an amazing one.

Anyone would.

[Battle Spirit(S) – Create a spirit based on your battle experiences.]

It was just one line that sounded simple. But simple, it was not! In this world, getting a pet was already a hassle, and only those lucky ones had those pets.

Little or big companions added a lot of value. They both increased stats and added new bonuses, and the latter could also carry their masters.

Spirit was on a totally different level.

One could shape spirit based on their experience. In Elias Deathwill’s skill, the crux was a battle experience. If one fought against the demon, one would be able to create a spirit similar to the demon and get their abilities for himself.

Elias Deathwill went on another level, however.

[Elias Deathwill’s Diary: I created a spirit of myself.]

Only a few individuals knew about Elias Deathwill’s battle spirit. Everyone else he had fought was simply not aware of his profound skill because that hypocrite created a spirit of himself.

It simply assimilated with his body, increasing his strength by an additional 50%!

“He was already a monster, but he went beyond that,” Alex whispered while scrutinizing the diary information.

From the diary, Alex learned about the peculiar place in Schnee’s cat clan. In that place, Elias Deathwill created his spirit and upped his abilities.

[You have received clues about Divine Cat’s Mirror World.]

While it was fantastic information that filled Alex’s adventurous heart with excitement, Alex couldn’t help but think of Schnee’s mother.

Right now, she surely regretted her choice.

He sighed and closed the system.

Looking outside, Alex hovered his eyes on the fairies’ forest. He etched the unique scenery into his heart, then logged out.

It didn’t seem like Remia would visit him tonight. And if she truly were on his way tonight, it also would raise some rumors.

Alex decided that he would spare himself from that.

[Next day.]

Alex woke up, went to school, then logged into the game around noon.

After he appeared on his comfortable bed, Alex yawned and rubbed his eyes. Even though he left the world, he felt like he had spent a good night here, which was weird as he exercised a lot today.

He hopped off his bed, then left the house.

‘My battle spirit… I shouldn’t rush this skill… If I can create a spirit out of my battle experiences, I should go after an epic monster or NPC. In Deathwill Castle, there are a few of those monsters… And beyond, there’s even more,’ Alex pondered inwardly.

Other than a few forest fairies, he found no one else outside.

And as he had promised Remia to not move around without her, Alex took a seat next to his tree.

His head was overfilled with the new skill and its possibilities.

While the players desperately fought in the dungeons or other leveling grounds, looking for unique bosses and items, Alex had access to the land, which was abundant in those.

He didn’t have to search around for them.

‘The hungry demons are a peculiar race, though. Everyone can become one of them, like that goblin… If I were to create a spirit out of my battle experiences against them, would I get a spirit with the respawn ability and means to level up?’ Alex thought.

He was in such deep thought that Alex hadn’t noticed Remia before him.

“Alex?” Remia whispered and waved her hand.

But even after raising her voice, Alex didn’t budge. Only after she nudged him did Alex notice the fairy princess.

He blinked his eyes and said, “Ah, sorry.”

“You came to our world quite late and lost in thoughts. Did something happen on your side?” Remia asked; her worry was audible.

Alex faintly smiled, “There’s only a scant group of players with no responsibilities in our world, you know? But I feel like some players might become full-time players soon.

As for me, I am all fine. Thanks for worrying about me,” Alex stood up and reassured his new friend.

Remia deeply looked at him, then nodded, “Responsibilities… It makes me feel bad.”

“How come?” Alex asked.

“As the princess, I shouldn’t be here. I shouldn’t be wandering outside, too,” Remia smiled bitterly.

She alluded to her past mistake and her wandering between the demi-humans and humans lands. She had been doing all of this for her sake. And even though Remia had given up on her title, she still carried the royal blood.

Alex was highly conflicted inside.

He wanted to say something, and he got some words into his mind. But those words made him feel troubled more. He didn’t know whether he would actually help or make things worse.

But in the end, he said, “You don’t have to be a princess just because you were born as royalty. You can help your family in your own way, right?”

Alex respected Remia for not giving up. She truly worked to become an independent and strong woman that would need no one to protect her. That strength could contribute to the fairy forest, couldn’t it?

Remia knew that Alex wanted to help her, so she sweetly smiled, “Thanks. And sorry for bringing it out. Your stay here should be free of any worries. That’s why let’s go straight to the fun things!”

“Fun things?” Alex genuinely wondered about those fun things.

“Hehe. You will see,” Remia grinned.

The big aqua park was the best tourist spot in the whole fairy forest.

On their way toward that park, Remia bought some snacks for Alex. Just a few of those snacks made him full.

But as he noticed the aqua park, Alex widened his eyes, no longer feeling that full.

“It does look fun,” he whispered.

Remia chuckled, “It is fun! Even adults can enjoy it wholeheartedly as each slide has a few levels. Come! Let’s buy swimsuits.”
